Question by croucho · Nov 27, 2012 at 08:32 PM · graphicswindow

Alt+Tab issue in fullscreen?

Hey All,

While performing a beta test recently, one of our users alt tabbed out of our full screen unity game back to the desktop. After Alt Tabbing back in, the game resumed but would kick the user to the desktop (not crashing the game, just changing focus) without any input from the user whatsoever. I haven't been able to repeat the issue on other machines and would hope it's some kind of a driver/hardware issue (the drivers on the machine were from 2010).

That being said though, has anyone encountered something similar? Is there a way to refresh the graphics context when such an event occurs. Seeing as it recovers gracefully every time I've tried it on other machines, I'm assuming Unity does that refresh under the hood.

Thanks!

-Croucho

Hi Croucho,

I have experienced this problem once before with Unity, but I have also experienced this with other game engines over the years. I personally would say it's probably just one of those times where windows and/or Unity has glitched.

I would not worry about it unless it becomes a regular occurrence.

Hope it helps ;)

Paul
